Hello Easy Engine community.
I’m having issues on Wordpress with a website that when spikes it gives me the famous “error establishing a database connection”.
I’m using a 1gb DO vps, with ee --wpredis --php7 (also use cloudflare and autoptimize) and this is my mysqltuner output.

-------- Recommendations --------------------------------------------------------------------------- General recommendations: MySQL started within last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability Dedicate this server to your database for highest performance. Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=1 When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries which have no LIMIT clause Variables to adjust: *** MySQL’s maximum memory usage is dangerously high *** *** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables *** tmp_table_size (> 32M) max_heap_table_size (> 32M) innodb_buffer_pool_instances (=1)
The website is very clean, and well optimized. I try not to load it with many plugins and it seems after a small traffic spike like 300-400 the server crashes. Never had this problem with ee wpfc hhvm configurations ( i saw websites on a 10$ vps getting 3k online).
I’ve tried many fixes: repairing db, replaced wp core files, etc…
1- Can you help me out, or point me in the right direction?
2- By the way, what configuration do you recommend for high traffic websites? Thank you.
UPDATE
Solved it by reinstalling everything from the ground up, and used a different setting for the website –wpfc --php7
Seems fine now. Thanks anyway.
